The paper proposes a verifiable abstention framework for AI-driven leak localization in water distribution networks, where a physics-based executor agent tests leak hypotheses against a digital twin and an independent supervisor with an LLM auditor certifies actions or abstains. In noisy field conditions, the system achieves 96% decision precision on acted events, correctly identifies all leaks in a benchmark, and demonstrates practical deployment with a 194-event audit record. The approach offers a defensible, accountable method for autonomous water‑infrastructure operation.
